ReBulet 5/2Q/58, which states that in view of LITTLE's
increasing activities in the affairs of the NOI on a national
level, the Bureau desires that the N10 consider him Tor
designation as a key figure.

NY.
It is noted that Temple #7 has approximately three to
four hundred members and that in his capacity as Minister, LITTLE
is the leader of Temple #7.
In addition, LITTLE travels to vaious Temples throughout
the United States and at meetings of these Temples has made
numerous speeches which are violent in nature wherein he attacks
the United States and the white race.
UACB, the NYO is designating LITTLE a key figure and is _»placing this case in a pending inactive status. LJ&
we!
The NYO will continue to follow LITTLE's activitiesand will submit a reporig gisth n six months from the date oft -4%re /¬°*':¬..=;D 4

TEHRLES OF ISLAH ,__ _, ____
On June 23, 1958, a source advised that Nation of
Islam Temple #?, 102 west 115th Street, New York, New lorkis the New York City affiliate of the Nation of Islam N015,
formerly referred to as the Muslim Cult of Islam and
Muhammad's Temple of Islam, under the direction and control
of ELIJA3 MUHAMMAD, the national leader of the NOI with
headquarters at Chicago, Illinois. This source further
advised that the NOI Temple $7 was ferried in New £014,
shortly following World War II.
In February, 1957, a source advised that the
"Nation of Islam" is an organization composed entirely of
Fegroes which was organized in 193? in Detroit, Michigan.
The national leader is ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, who claims to have
been selected by ALLAH, the Supreme Being, to lead the
so-called Negro race out of slavery in the wilderness cf
North America. According to MUHAMMAD, the purpose of the
organization is to establish an independent black nation
in the United States.
Members follow the teachings of MUFAHMAD, which
are allegedly based on his interpretation of the "Koran."
They are taught that there is no such thing as a Negro;
that the so-celled Negro race is the original race on earth
and is Asiatic in origin and nature; that they are not citizens
of the United States but merely slaves; that the white race,
referred to as white devils," is inferior to the Negro
race but has exploited the Negroes, imposed slave names
upon them, withheld from them the history of their true
identity and culture, and, as a consequence, must and
will be destroyed in the approaching 'War of Armageddon."

In the past, officials and members of the Nation
of Islam" including ELIJAH HUIAMHAD, have refused to register
under the provisions of the Selective Service Acts and have
declared that members owe no allegiance to the United States,
In January, 1957, another confidential informant
related that HUHAEHAD stated that upon avice of legal
counsel, he had tempered his personal statements and
instructions to his ministers concerning the tenets and
principles of this organization in order to avoid prosecution
by the government for violation of the law of the belted
States. However, he has not indicated any fundamental
changes are proposed in the teachings of the organization.
On April 30, 1957, the secool source of information,
mentioned above, advised that the Fruit of Islam {FOI} is a
group within the NOI composed of all able-bodied male
members of the NOI. The purpose of the FOI is to protect
officials and property of the NOI, assure compliance of members
with ROI teachings, and to prepare for the "War of
Armageddon." Members of the FOI are required to participate
in military drill and are afforded the opportunity to engage
in Judo training. The FOI is governed by a military system
wherein the members are controlled ty general orders similar to
those issued by regular military organizations.

little black man whohns the black man standing up
for him. The white d .il would like to have the
black man stand up for him white man! as the black

ready, He stated Muslims knew what he meant, Muslims
are ready to stand together foot to foot, knee to

MUSLIM GIRLS TRAIIT§Ll92IG iQ1*ofr!_
On January 20, 1959, a source advised that the
MUSLIM GIRLS TRAINING is a group within the NATION OF ISLAM
and is composed of all female members of the NOI. The MGT
is similar in structure to the FRUIT OF ISLAM, which is
composed of all male members of the N01, in that the MGT has
officers similar to military organizations to whom other
female members are accountable. MGT members receive
instructions in homemaking, hygiene, calisthenics, and
other subjects such as Muslim history and the English
language. There also exists a Junior HGT which is composed
of female members of the NOI who are between the ages of
15 and 19 and who are afforded military-type drill.
Since 1957 various officers and "sisters" of the
MGT have, at meetings of the MGT, used the term MGT so
that it also means General Civilization Class. General
Civilization Class refers to classes conducted within the
MGT,
The above refers to activities of the MGT at
Muhammad's Temple of Islam No. 2, 5335 South Greenwood,
Chicago, Illinois.
On January 19, 1959, another source advised that
the MGT is a group within the NOI which is composed of all
female members of the NOI. The MGT is similar in structure
to the FRUIT OF ISLAM, which is composed of all male members
of the NOI. In theory the MGT exists in all Temples of the
N01 and is patterned after the MGT at Muhammad's Temple of
Islam No. 2. Chicago. General Civilization Class refers to
the collective group of classes held within the MGT,

WALLACE;
The indictment you've Just heard is being told over
and over again in most of the major cities across the country.
This charge cones at the climax of a morality play called "The
Trial." The plot, indeed the message of the play, is that the
white man has been put on trial for his sins against the black
man. He has been found guilty. Tre sentence is death. The
play is sponsored, produced by a Negro religious group who
call themselves the Muslims. _They use a good deal of the para-
phernalia of the traditional religion of Islam. But they are
fervently disavowed by orthodox Muslims. Negro American Muslims
are the most powerful of the black supremacist group. They
claim a membership of l/H of a million Negroes and our search
indicates that for every so-called card carrying black supremacist
there are perhaps 10 fellow travelers. Their dodrine is being
taught in 50 cities across the nation. Let no one under-estimate
the Muslims. They have their cwa parochial schools like this
one in Chicago where Muslim children are taught to hate the
white man. Even the clothes they wear are anti-white man, anti-
American like these two Negro children going to school. Wherever
they go the Muslims withdraw from the life of the community.
They have their own stores, supermarkets, barber shops, restaurants
Here you see a progressive modern air conditioned Muslim.depart-
ment store on Chicagos South side.
Their storycf hatred is carried in many Negro newspapers.
Here you see their Minister MALCOLM X proudly displaying five
of the biggest Negro papers in America. Papers published in
Los Angeles, New Y0rk,Pittsburgh, Detroit and Newark gnd Negro
politicians,regardless of their private beliefs, respectfully
listen when the leaders of the black supremacy movement speak.
Here you see Borough President HULAN JACK shaking hands with
ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, who is the leader of the Muslims and here you
see NAACP Director ROY WILKINS greeting Minister MALCOLM, the
heir aPParent to ELIJAH MUHAMAD. Four or five times a year
the Muslims assemble in one of America's major cities to hear
their leader, ELIJAH MUHAMMAD. Here you see them arriving at
Washington's Uline Arena for a meeting held only five weeks ago.

now and l9?O and at just such a rally as this, the Muslims
expect that ELIJAH will sound the death knaU.ofthewhite man.
Every precaution is taken to protect their leader. As you will
shortly see the Muslims, men and women both, submit to a complete
search before entering the meeting hall. Some 10,000 persons
attended the rally that you see here, all of them searched
like this nan. This began almost three hours before the
meeting started.
They are waiting non fer Ellla MUHAMMAD, founder and
spiritual leader of their group. ind here he comes. He is
actually ELIJAH POOLE of Georgia. During World war II, MUHAMMAD
was arrested and charged with sediticn and draft dodging. The
Department of Justice finally crapped the charge that he advocated
defeat of the white democzacy er; victory for the colored
Japanese, but F1H£U¢AD and his follcvers did serve time in the
federal penitentiary for refusing to register for the draft.

Good news for the black man is that he is on the
verge of recapturing his position as ruler of the universe. The
bad news for the white man is that his long and wicked reign
will shortly be over and then ELIJAH MUHAMMAD spoke.
MUHAHHAD's speech was inaudible and interrupted
numerous times by applause.
WALLACE:
But of more interest to New Yorkers is Minister
MALCOLM X, the Muslims New York Minister, who you will shortly
see. This is a remarkable man, a man who by his own admission
to News Beatwas once a procurer and a dope peddler. He served
time for robbery in the Massachusetts State Penitentiary. Now
he is a changed man. He will not smoke or drink. He will not
even eat in a restaurant that houses a tavern. He told News'Bggt
that his life changed when the Muslim faith taught him no longer
to be ashamed of being a black man. Reporter LOUIS LOMAX
asks Minister MALCOLM X to further explain MUHAMMAD's teachings.
The conversation you will hear took place as LOMAX and Minister
MALCOLM X were discussing the teachings of ELIJAH MUHAMMAD.
LOMAX: That tne same context that Mr. ELIJAH MUHAMMAD teaches
that his faith, the Islamic faith, is for the black
man. The black man is good. He also uses the Old
Testament incident of the serpent in Adam and Eve
in the Garden of Eden and he sets up the proposition
there that this is the great battle between?good
and evil and he uses the phrase devil and he uses it
almost interchangeably and synonymeusly with the were
snake. Now what does he mean there?
MALCOLM: well number 1 he teaches us that this individual
was a real serpent.
LOMAX: It was not a real serpent,

paragraph in this column. He says and I quote him
"that only people born of Allah are the black nation

Yes. He teaches us that the black man by nature is

evil?

Thes§'then are the Muslims and these are the things
they are saying, preaching and teaching their youngsters. They
are the most powerful of the black supremacist groups, and
later this week we will hear'more from the Muslims.
Now let us look at another group. Every night when
theueather is good, knots of people gather in Harlem at 125th
Street and Seventh Avenue in front of the Theresa Hotel to hear
the speakers for the United African Nationalist Movement spread
their gospel or black nationalism. we made a film of one
of those meetings. The lighting was poor and it was almost
impossible to get good sound quality. The man you are about
to hear is JOHN DAVIS, a paid orator for the United African
Nationalist Movement. You will hear him attack liberals,
ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, PEARL BUCK and then he will go on to say some
rather surprising things about the NAACP and its 1eader,ROY
NILKINS.
Film Clip:
And now you got what they call so-called white liberals
... and the white liberals go around claiming that they are
against discrimination, they are against lynching...,,Lots of
brutal liberals like phoney Mrs. ROOSEVELT, the African white
goddess.... They got another one by the name of PEARL BUCK
and the one who wrote the "Imitation of Life." on all or those
phoney liberals. Then you got the NAACP - The National
Association for the Advancement of some colored folks and you got
... ROY WILKINS.

that some Negroes
have received in
the past 300 years. The burden cf being a black man in America
has proved more than some of them can bear and now they are
fighting back with the same weapons that were used to subjugate
them. They are finding it increasingly difficult to identify
with America. They have lost faith in the honesty of American
law enforcement agencies when it comes to protecting their
individual rights. many of them have abandoned ohristianity.
They name it a dogma of enslavement. Even those who have not
abandoned it are preaching that Jesus was not white. Jesus was
not white like the men who lynch and discriminate against Negroes
but that he was s black man. JAMES LAWSON shows the black
supremacist concept of Jesus and notice how much the Jesus
in the painting and JAMES LAWSON resemble one another.

that most Negroes are not this way and that most

thing is that a sizable segment and more important

Yes and I think they have been guilty to a large

I don't think they want tr face it. It has a lot of

Tonight, we continue our study of the rise
of black racism and the call for black supremacy
among 2. growing segment of the American Negroes.
**'~n-*-u--l--u-
WALLACE:
Tonight we take a look at the impact of
the black supremist movements upon the power structure
of the New York Negro comunity. Not infrequently,
when the Harlem leaders gather, JAMES R. LAWSON
and Minister MALCOLM X are there. JAMES LAWSON is
President of the United African Nationalist Ecvanent.
He is a man who said that ROY WILKINS is an
"Uncle Tom". - He cells ARTPJJR SPIEICJZRIY,
President of the NAACP, a Zi0n1St Jew. He calls United
Nations Under~Secretary RALPH BUNCHE the George
Washington of Israel". Minister MALCOLM X is
the leader of the New York Muslims. They are the
pur'~:e;'ors of the doctrine that the White man
is evil by nature; that he is incapable of doing
good; that he must be destroyed, and when these-
black supremists hold their major meetings such politicians
as ADAM CLAYTON POWELL and HULAN JACK and City
Councilman EARL BROWN are not infrequently there.
Here you see City Councilman EARL BROWN addressing
a Muslim rally. He is at the podium. Note Minister
MALCOLM X and Muslim leader ELIJAH MUHAMMAD in the
background. Manhattan Borough President HULAN JACK

was at that meeting and here you see him, his back,
snaking hands with ELIJAH MUHAMMAD. It should
be made very clear that none of these men,
EARL BROWN, HULAN JACK, ADAM POWELL, is a black
nationalist or Muslim; but they are politicians,
leaders of mass movements, and they need votes and
so sometimes they find it necessary to rub shoulders
with the black supremists.
On May l8_ of last year, New York woke up
to this news story:
HULAN JACK, the Negro who had been elected
to the highest municipal office ever occupied by
a man of his race in this nation's history had been
booed cff a Harlem street corner by members of his
own race. Clearly something was afoot in Harlem.
No one seemed to know quite what.
"News Beat" Reporter LOUIS LOMAX covered
that story. LOU, what were the facts behind that
story?
LOHAX: w
To capsule it, MIKE, the Muslims
were miffed with HUhN JACK because he had not
attended some rallies that were held in Harlem;
th%y'organized the booing session. Minister
MALCOLM X gave the signal by walking through
a tavern door, the booing began.

The booing session took place at a NAACP
meeting, didn't it?
1' H3. .4, X -JJU1H1A -
That is correct. They were celebrating
the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision
desegregating schools.
WALLACE:
And the Muslims organized the booing?
LOIJAX z
Yes,they did. The booing signal was
when MALCOLM X walked through the tavern door, and
once the booing began, many non-Muslims joined
in the well organized spontaneous demonstration.
wALLACE:
well then, what did HULAN JACK do to_"
bolster his popularity in Harlem as a result
of this booing incident?
Well, I do not want to make any unwarranted
conclusions, but the records show that within
a week or two HULAN JACK hired a Negro public relations
man. A month and a half later he welcomed Mr. ELIJAH
MUHAMMAD, the leader of the Muslims to New York.

expressed this sentiment.

And he wooed the Muslims?
LOMAX:
Yes.
WALLACE:
That was the story, that is the story
that the headlines failed to tell, but now let
the black supremists themselves shew how they
flex their political muscles.
Reporter LOMAX asked JAMES LAWSOM, heed
of the black supremists United African Nationalist
Movement about that group's political activities
and then he asked both ADAM POWELL and HULAN JACK
about LAwSON's assertion that those two politician
accept the black Nationalists-political support.

WALLACE:
Let us take a closer lock at this man -~
a closer look at this man called brilliant by Con-
gressman ADAM POWELL. This man, MALCOLM X, who
preached a vesper service in ADAM POWELLs church.
There he is with the glasses.
MALCOLM X, by his own admission to "News
Beat", is a former dope peddler and procurer, an
ex-convict who served time for theft in Michigan
and Hassacndsetts prisons. He is a changed man now,
he says, because ELIJAH MUHAMMAD's personal brand .
of Islam taught him no longer to be ashamed of
being a black man. So it becomes evident that the
responsible leaders of the Negro community are
fully aware of the activities and teachings of
the black supremists.
But what about the NAACP? This organization
is dedicated to the elimination of all racism, black
and white. what does it know about the drive for
black supremacy? Reporter LOMAX asked NAACP
Exexutive Seapetary ROY NILKINS what is the attitude
of his organization toward the black suprem: ts

we call this series "The Hate That Kate

that we have been learning about is the hatrci that
a minority of Negroes are returning for the hate
the majority of Negroes have received.
Senato: HUBERT HUNPHHEY told tee NAACP
§9th anniversary convention tQ¢ay i1at the NQQJO people
are to be congratulated for returning love for hate,
but here we are seeing tragic evidence, frightening
evidence, that some Negroes are returning hate
for hate. The white community must accept a
good deal of the blame for the indignities the
Negroes have suffered. The white community must
admit its snare of the blame and take corrective
action. But the Negro community is not blameless.
They and all of their responsible leaders must move
quicxly to root out the hate mongers in their
midst.
Tomorrow night we will talk to Dr. ANNA

and civic leader, former Administrative Assistant

MALCOLM LITTLE from Temple number 7 spoke a o .
He had been travelling and teaching throughout the
Southwhere people are afraid and have a right to be.
He related a story of how a white woman had told
her maid in Tampa, Florida, that her ministerhad
told the white congregation "Jesus was not one of
us," After MOO years why are the white people concerned
about the color of Jesus. If one preacher is
telling his congregation the truth about Jesus
not being white so are many others. It is only
because they did not want us to know more about
Jesus than their own people. Negroes are finding
out because ELIJAH MUHAMMAD is teaching Islam in
America today.

Qne of the main reasons the so-called Negro
is still catching hell from the white man and remains
in such a sad shape spiritually, mentally and eco-
nomically is due to his inability to analyze and
get complete underaanding of all the current events
that are happening every day. ELIJAH MUHAMMAD
teaches that all Negroes educated in America are
taughtthe white man's way of life even about the
four freedoms that every so-called American is
entitled to yet will not allow the Negro to enjoy
anyone of them except religion. Most Negroes never
heard of their original religion which is Islam
until a short time ago. At the beginning of slavery

The Christians gave the Negro woman more advantages

not only to the Christians but even to their own.
Christians taught Negroes to believe the white man's

According to nature white men are worse than

concerning a meeting of the NOI eld at tnam Avenue,Brooklyn, New York, on January 27; 1999-
sta.ted Minister mwom x spoke as
follows:
Islam is the oldest and only true religion on the
face of the earth. During slavery when the colored
people were not allowed to go to the white mania
church they were more united with each other;and
being united they had power. To weaken that power
among them white man took one slave, taught him the
Bible and told him he was to preach to them. This
was done by the slavemasters of every religion and
that is why we have the same names of religions as
the white people.

stated MALCOLM LITTLE spoke as follows:
In Mecca there is a group of 24 men who are
known as gods. These gods have great wisdom and
they are dependent on each other. These men are
men like us and they die like we do,but a son is
always trained to take the place of his father and
he is also trained not to reveal the secretJ? It'is_
known that some day a son would be born to one of
these 2H men and he would be much wi er than they
are. This one would be the suprem od. This son *-has been born and is known as W. F3{§UHAMMAD. This '
name should not be mistaken for ELIJAH MUHAMMAD who
was born in Georgie. W. F. MUHAMMAD was born in Mecca
and he came to raise up the last nation of Islam from
this wilderness and to punish those who are responsible
for these conditions.
